[Uri Hurwitz <uhurwitz AT yahoo.com>]

 It is a bit amusing to observe people express solemn 
  opinions on subjects in which they don't really have training.It
   would appear that matters Egyptological are best left to
   Egyptologists.
  \
    For example, Peter Kirk has written, inter alia: 
"..... The orthodox estimate of 
the date of Shoshenk I is dependent on estimates by Thiele etc of the 
date of the Shishak invasion in 1 Kings. Kitchen et al have fitted other 
Egyptian rulers around this date for Shoshenk I but with a lot of 
uncertainties. And Thiele's dates are derived from the Bible and from 
Mesopotamian data, but not at all from Egyptian. ....
-- 
Peter Kirk "
   
  In addition to Kitchen's major reference work on this and other matters, 
  one may wish consult Hoffmeier's Israel in Egypt, and works by Curdis 
  and others. One may of course weigh their work against Egyptologists
  who do not accept their dates.
   
   To reject commonly accepted  Egyptian chronologty  because it does
  not fit with biblical chronology  -- clearly typological --  based on 
numbers
   such as 480 or 40 years, is an expression of faith, not scholarship.

[Steve Miller] Seth, I'm not sure on what you disagree with me. I agree that
each week in Dan. 9 is 7 years, although I don't think Gen 29:27 is a good
proof of that. (I understood that Jacob married Rachel one literal week
after marrying Leah.)
I said that the 70 weeks are not a "time interval". That is, the Bible
doesn't say from <event A> until <event B> is 70 weeks. If that was the
case, they would need to be all contiguous. The 70 weeks are 490 years which
are divided to Israel. There is no requirement that they be contiguous. But
within the 490 years, 2 definite time intervals are mentioned, and those
time intervals are contiguous.
